Pompeo says North Korea understands denuclearization must be verifiable

Trump assailed media skeptics of his agreement with Kim.

Speaking the day after an unprecedented summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Pompeo told reporters in Seoul negotiations on Pyongyang's atomic arsenal could move forward quickly and would take place "most certainly in the president's first term".

"With getting strong support from Mr. Trump, (Japan) is determined to settle the issue" through direct negotiations with North Korea, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told a news conference on Wednesday.

When his son, Kim Jong Il, died in 2011, it was Ri - clad in black funeral clothes and her voice quavering - who delivered the news to North Koreans.

It's true that by sitting across from Kim, Trump accomplished something no other United States president before him had.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo arrived at Osan Air Base south of Seoul from Singapore early Wednesday evening. He met for almost an hour with Gen. Vincent Brooks, commander of U.S. Forces Korea, at the air base before heading by motorcade to Seoul. Pompeo, the former Central Intelligence Agency director, then plans to fly to Beijing to update the Chinese government on the talks.

Kim said "to achieve peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula and realize its denuclearization", North Korea and the U.S. "should commit themselves to refraining from antagonizing with each other", according to North Korean media.

And now Kim has his front-page splash on Rodong Sinmun, showing him sitting and standing right beside Trump, the president of the United States, as the leader of a fellow nuclear weapons state.

At the first-ever meeting between sitting leaders of the USA and North Korea on Tuesday in Singapore, Trump and Kim pledged in a joint statement to work toward the "complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula".

The meeting was also a "defining moment" for Trump, leader of "the world's police at the moment", said Cabalza.

The lack of a definitive timeframe or verification mechanism for North Korea's nuclear disarmament prompted some former USA diplomats to question the utility of the summit and suggested Trump's tactics could undermine Washington's alliances with Seoul and Japan.

Trump has repeatedly touted his role in bringing the reclusive North Korea to the negotiating table, a feat that he says his predecessors were unable to pull off. No longer - sleep well tonight!' But it "all depends on whether North Korea is serious about denuclearization".

North Korea could begin giving up its weapons today if it wanted to, but it instead has insisted on staging performances of denuclearization rather than on inviting global inspectors to verify its progress. Meeting briefly with Pompeo on Thursday morning, Moon said he was eager to hear how the United States and North Korea could "fully and expeditiously implement this great agreement". The president also criticized the other G-7 countries as taking advantage of the U.S.

North Korean state media reported on Wednesday Kim and Trump had recognized the principle of "step-by-step and simultaneous action" to achieve peace and denuclearization on the Korean peninsula.

Shortly after arriving in Seoul to brief USA treaty allies Japan and South Korea, Pompeo also cautioned that the US would resume "war games" with close ally South Korea if the North stops negotiating in good faith.

Using the military exercises as a massive negotiating chip in exchange for the North denuclearizing is a pretty orthodox policy proposal, but it stunned nearly everybody that Trump seemed to be giving this away for free after his meeting.

Yet even as USA and South Korean officials sought to parlay the momentum from the dramatic summit into more progress on the nuclear issue, there were persistent questions about whether Trump had given away too much in return for too little. The next scheduled major exercise, involving tens of thousands of troops, normally is held in August.

In Japan, the prospect of canceled U.S. -South Korean drills was met with concern. He said he planned to continue sharing the view with Washington and Seoul.

"I had a very good meeting with the G7 and I left left the meeting", Trump corrected. "Because look, whether you are semi-friendly with a nation or not, when they have nuclear weapons and you're that close, it can't be a positive feeling", Trump said.

Trump cast that decision as a cost-saving measure, but also called the exercises "inappropriate" while talks continue. Trump has dangled the prospect of economic investment in the North as a sweetener for giving up its nuclear weapons.
